This place still has the power to make me feel like a kid. I don't think the exhibit has changed much over the last few years. Whenever I go, it's just as amazing as the first time to get into some of these airplanes. Great location for company parties and weddings too.

I don't think this museum is very everyone. It's pretty small. The main room has many planes on the floor and hanging from the ceiling. Supposedly they have planes outside that you can visit. There's also another room filled with history of flight. However, I personally don't care much about aviation so I found it a bit boring. Pros: have special exhibitions, good for rainy days Cons: boring unless you love airplanes

All flight museums have airplanes of course. The Seattle Museum of Flight also has loads of artifacts from space: Moon rock, lunar landers, and soon they'll be getting a Space Shuttle. The Great Gallery contains a history of aviation: from gliders to the Wright Brothers' first airplane to The Blackbird to the Dark Star and Aerosonde. Be sure to take a tour with a docent. Their docents are always interesting and sometimes hilarious. And every time I take a tour there, I learn more about history and aviation. Across the street, they have the original Air Force One Jet (check out the "cutting edge" 1960's on-board computer!) and the 747 prototype, along with The Concorde. Guests can tour Air Force One and Concorde. My favorite place at the Museum is the Personal Courage Wing. It's set up so you can give yourself a tour; although, if you can persuade a docent to take you there, all the better. WWI is upstairs, and they have the first (and only) purpose-built fighter plane. It's nearly 100 years old. They have a Sopwith Camel, along with other Sopwith planes, and a number of French and German airplanes from that era. Even a replica of the Red Baron's Drei-decker and Albatross. The WWII area is on the main floor. P-38, P-40, Spitfire, Corsair, Nakajima, and a Russian YAK are just the beginning. Don't miss this when you are in the Pacific North West! An unforgettable experience! You'll be back! Pros: The docents are the best! Cons: Crowded on holidays

The museum of flight is an amazing, fascinating place to spend a day - or a few hours. They have displays on all stages of aviation - starting with the Wright Brothers in Kitty Hawk, through the present day and even a special section regarding space flight. My personal favorite is walking through Air Force One - and seeing Jackie O's famous bathroom that she designed. It's not a huge deal by today's standards, but pretty it's amazing to be able to explore the actual aircraft that carried Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Nixon on official business.

I have visited the National Air and Space Museum in D.C. and, while that museum is much bigger, I think The Museum of Flight is a better experience. The Great Gallery has something like 30 airplanes (from the Wright Flyer to Blackbird Spyplane) all hung and flying in formation in a beautiful glass and steel building. The Personal Courage Wing pays tribute to the men AND WOMEN who flew in WWI and WWII and the aircraft that supported them. Amazing displays and interactive features. The outdoor airpark has the original Air Force One and a real supersonic Concorde as well. So great. There are also many flight simulators to try, and movies to watch. If you go to Seattle, don't miss The Museum of Flight! Pros: Free parking, exhibits, docents Cons: Not downtown

I've been to the Museum of Flight every time my in-laws come into town and I'm SO over it. Unless you're really into planes or have A LOT of time to kill doing nothing, it isn't really worth it. Everyone has described it correctly. Lots of different planes to see. Some hanging from the ceiling, others on the ground. The last time I checked, the first Thursday of each month was free to the public. That's the BEST time to check it out.

If your in the Seattle area, you need to go to this place. The Museum of Flight was included in the Citypass and at first, I didn't think it would be fun. It was totally wrong. When we got there, there was so much stuff to see. They had all these planes on the floor and hanging from the ceiling. You could also sit in a few and take pictures. They had stuff about astronauts and different World Wars. Then down the street, they had some actual size huge planes. They had one that was used as an Air Force One for past presidents that you could go into. They also had a retired Concorde which was cool. If this place sounds boring to you, at least give it a try. You will be so happy you stopped here. We were actually here for like 5 hours.

As you would hope of Seattle, the Museum of Flight is one of the best flight museums in the country. With a continually expanding collection of aircraft and memorabilia, you'll find plenty to keep the family busy. There are not many places where you can see aging versions of a Blackbird, Blue Angel, Air Force One, and a Concord all with one ticket. The galleries and exhibit halls are packed with planes. Pay attention to the schedule for special events. MOF is a great place to watch the Blue Angels depart and return to during Seafair.

I am not the museum type but the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field is worth going to. If not to walk through the first presidential jet plane, (that would be Air Force One when the Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Nixon flew on it), you can go inside a Concorde supersonic or see the tons of aircrafts inside the museum. It could get a pit pricey, but from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm on the first Thursday of every month, admission is free and some exhibits are closed. Check their website.
